Driving Downtown New Rochelle New York USA - Episode 44.
Starting Point: .
New Rochelle is a city in Westchester County, New York, United States. Many of the settlers were artisans and craftsmen from the city of La Rochelle, France, thus influencing the choice of the name of New Rochelle.
In November 2008 Business Week magazine listed New Rochelle as the best city in New York State, and one of the best places nationally, to raise children. In 2014, New Rochelle was voted the 13th best city to live in, out of 550 cities, and was the only city in Westchester County on the list.
Residential Profile
Some of the country's most expensive real estate can be found in New Rochelle. The north end of the city (10804) is ranked in Forbes magazine's list of the '500 most expensive zip-codes' in the country.[22] According to the list, the average household income was $199,061 and the average home price was over $752,000. Homes in Premium Point, a gated section of the city on Long Island Sound, are priced anywhere from $2 to $20 million. The three newest residential developments, 'Kensington Woods', 'The Greens at Cherry Lawn' and 'Riviera Shores', are all gated communities with single family homes priced from $2 million.
Economy
New Rochelle has been home to a variety of industries over the years, including: Thanhouser Film Studios, Terrytoons Studios, P.J. Tierney Diner Manufacturing (now DeRaffele Manufacturing Company), Flynn Burner Company, New York Seven Up (Joyce Beverages, Inc), RawlPlug, Inc., the Longines Symphonette Society, Conran's USA.

Landmarks and Attractions
Columbia Island – a small island (appx. 150 feet (46 m) square) situated between Davids' Island and Pea Island. Up until 1940 it was known as Little Pea Island. CBS purchased it and built a concrete foundation to support a transmitter building topped by a 410-foot (120 m) tall antenna tower for WCBS-AM.[32][33] The transmitter remained in operation until the 1960s, when the station was moved to nearby High Island.
Execution Rocks Lighthouse – centered in the middle of Long Island Sound, just south of Davids' Island. The structure was built in 1849 and includes a 55-foot (17 m) tall tower and the ‘keeper's house’. It is rumored that the lighthouse's site got its name before the American Revolutionary War when British colonial authorities executed people by chaining them to the rocks at low tide and allowing the rising water to drown them. In reality, the name was chosen to reflect the historically dangerous shipping area created by the rocks exposure during low tides.
Huckleberry Island – a 10-acre (40,000 m2) island owned by the Huckleberry Indians, Inc., a club within the New York Athletic Club. The island is an important nesting site for waterbirds such as egrets and night herons.
Leland Castle – a 19th-century Gothic Revival castle built as the summer residence of Simeon Leland, a wealthy New York City hotel entrepreneur. It has since been acquired by the College of New Rochelle and is used as an art gallery available to the public.
St. John's Wilmot Church – a historic Episcopal parish located in the northern end of the City at the intersection of North Avenue and Wilmot Road, formerly referred to as “Cooper's Corner”.
Thomas Paine Historical Site – a historical nexus within the city, the site comprises: the country home of the American pamphleteer and Revolutionary War hero Thomas Paine, his burial site, monument, and a museum. Paine's Cottage was built in 1793 and is a National Historic Landmark. The Thomas Paine Memorial Building, built in 1925, houses the library and museum collection of the Thomas Paine National Historical Association. Also on the site is the Brewster Schoolhouse, one of the oldest structural relics in Westchester County.
Trinity-St. Paul's Episcopal Church – added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. It is located at the northwest corner of Huguenot Street (also known as the Boston Post Road) and Division Street. This church represents the body of the majority group of New Rochelle's founding Huguenot French Calvanistic congregation that conformed to the liturgy of the established Church of England in June 1709. King George III gave Trinity its first charter in 1762. After the Revolutionary War, Trinity became a parish of the Protestant Episcopal Church of America.

Places to see in ( Ely - UK )
Ely is a cathedral city in Cambridgeshire, England, about 14 miles north-northeast of Cambridge and about 80 miles by road from London. Construction of the cathedral was started in 1083 by a Norman abbot, Simeon. Alan of Walsingham's octagon, built over Ely's nave crossing between 1322 and 1328, is the greatest individual achievement of architectural genius at Ely Cathedral, according to architectural historian Nikolaus Pevsner. Building continued until the dissolution of the abbey in 1539 during the Reformation. The cathedral was sympathetically restored between 1845 and 1870 by the architect George Gilbert Scott. As the seat of a diocese, Ely has long been considered a city; in 1974, city status was granted by royal charter.
Ely is built on a 23-square-mile (60 km2) Kimmeridge Clay island which, at 85 feet (26 m), is the highest land in the fens. Major rivers including the Witham, Welland, Nene and Great Ouse feed into the fens and, until draining commenced in the 17th century, formed freshwater marshes and meres within which peat was laid down. There are two Sites of Special Scientific Interest in the city: a former Kimmeridge Clay quarry, and one of the United Kingdom's best remaining examples of medieval ridge and furrow agriculture.
Little direct evidence of Roman occupation in Ely exists, although there are nearby Roman settlements such as those at Little Thetford and Stretham. A coach route, known to have existed in 1753 between Ely and Cambridge, was improved in 1769 as a turnpike (toll road). The present day A10 closely follows this route; a southwestern bypass of the city was built in 1986. Ely railway station built in 1845 is on the Fen Line and is now a railway hub, with lines north to King's Lynn, northwest to Peterborough, east to Norwich, southeast to Ipswich and south to Cambridge and London.
The King's School is a coeducational boarding school which was granted a royal charter in 1541 by Henry VIII; the school claims to have existed since 970. Henry I granted the first annual Fair, Saint Audrey's (or Etheldreda's) seven-day event, to the abbot and convent on 10 October 1189; the word tawdry originates from cheap lace sold at this fair. Present day annual events include the Eel Festival in May, established in 2004, and a fireworks display in Ely Park, first staged in 1974. The city of Ely has been twinned with Denmark's oldest town, Ribe, since 1956. Ely City Football Club was formed in 1885.
Ely railway station, on the Fen Line, is a major railway hub with the Cambridge to Ely section opening in 1845. Five major railway lines—excluding the former Ely and St Ives Railway—emanate from this hub: north to King's Lynn, northwest to Peterborough, east to Norwich, southeast to Ipswich and south to Cambridge and London.

Where did Pushkin first read his poem Poltava?
You will know all this when you see our new video!
Today our Moscow travel guide invites you to walk along the most aristocratic street in Moscow - Povarskaya. It connects New Arbat and Sadovoye ring.
In fact Povarskaya means Cook s street. Its because those, who were in service in the Tzar kitchen lived here In 16th -17th century. And also Ivan the Great s guardsmen, because this street was a way to Novgorod.
We ll start our excursion from the legendary restaurant Praga. It was opened in 1872 and the address was Povarskaya, 1. After the October revolution this luxury restaurant turned into a canteen! Mayakovskiy liked to eat here.
This is a church of Simeon Stolpnik. It was built in 17th century. Look at its beautiful 5 domes in the traditional Moscow style.
Here count Sheremetiev married a serf actress Praskovia Zhemchugova. Gogol used to come here during the last years of his life.
Let s continue our walk and go up the street to the Sadovoe ring. The Golden age of the estates on Povarskaya starts from the 18th century, from the Peter times.
The Tzar kitchen moves to the new capital St Petersburg. And the street begins to be a home of russian aristocrats: Gagarin, Golitsin, Dolgorukiy, Volkonsky.
Today most of the estates host different foreign embassies, for example Norway or Cyprus. In Bludov s estate on Povarskaya, 15 there is a Supreme court of Russia now. Look, here is the sculpture of Femida, without an eye patch for some reason.
Not far from the Borisoglebsky street was a court of Peter s the first sister Natalia.
Unfortunately not all estates survived till nowadays. Some of them burned out, some were demolished.
For example between 2 streets Borisoglebskiy and Big Rshevskiy instead of 2 luxury estates of the 18th century the soviets made a park of Ivan Bunin. 200year old elm the favorite Bunins tree unfortunately has not survived.
Lets continue our excursion. Look at the house number 25, the Gagarin estate. Prince Gagarin, the director of the Emperors theatre ordered to build the main house in the empire style.
In the 1920s the cavalry school was in this building, and in the 1937 it became the Literature institute. In the yard you can find another famous sculpture of Vera Muhina The thunderbird of Revolution.
And here is the Orlov s house. In the 19th century it belonged to the count Sheremetiev. In one of its splendid halls Pushkin read his poem Poltava for the 1st time.
The only wooden house that remained on Povarskaya, is the house with mesonine of the princess Volkonskaya.
House number 50 - the famous Writers house was the first writers cub in Moscow.
And at last we came up to the house № 52. This very estate with 6 columns was the home of Tolstov s Natasha Rostova, the hero of his famousWar and peace.
This yellow estate is made in russian classicism style. There is a small church near the main house. In 1920 the Palace of arts was opened here. Boris Pasternak, Alexey Tolstoy, Sergei Esenin and Marina Zvetaeva performed here.
In the yard you cfn see the monument to Lev Tolstoy made by Vasnetcov.
Today several writing organizations and restaurants are located here.
